"So you have people who
were financing misinformation, on the one hand, and destabilisation, on
the other, and who encouraged small groups of hoodlums to sow panic on
the streets, to create the impression of a government losing control."An Interview with Jean-Bertrand Aristide," July 20, 2006

She is still in the morgue because her parents haven't the means to
bury her.

Bush regime change brought a bloodbath to Haiti, with the attendant massacres and human rights abuses.It's
hard to believe that the UN occupier's disregard for Haitian life has
just turned on a dime in a matter of days and they are just firing
warning shots into the air now. The UN specializes in head shots. Their
intent is not to maim, but to kill.

"And then when it
comes to 2004-6, suddenly all this indignant talk of violence falls
silent. As if nothing had happened. People were being herded into
containers and dropped into the sea. That counts for nothing. The
endless attacks on Cite' Soleil, they count for nothing. I could go on
and on. Thousands have died. But they don't count, because they are
just chimÃ¨res, after all." Jean-Bertrand Aristide

To
be fair when the UN occupiers first came in June 2004, they just bore
silent witness to the killings by the Haitian police and the goons who
served the oligarchy. It was not part of their mission to stop the
carnage, so they did not intervene to stop it. It was not until April
2005 that the UN began to systematically brutalize the Haitian
population. The terror intensified in July and December
of 2005 when Brazilian troops leading the "military component" of the
UN mission committed bloody massacres in the shantytown of Cite Soleil.

"MINUSTAH
has been shooting tear gas on the people. There are children who have
died from the gas and some people inside churches have been shot. The
Red Cross was with us. The Red Cross was just here and might have just
gone on to pick up more children and adults who have gotten shot. The
Red Cross is the only one helping us. The MINUSTAH soldiers remain
hidden in their tanks and just aim their guns and shoot the people.
They shoot people selling in the streets. They shoot people just
walking in the streets. They shoot people sitting and selling in the
marketplace."

Prior
to the massacres, Cite Soleil had been the launching point of mass
demonstrations calling for the return of President Aristide and an end
to foreign occupation of their country. The targeting of Cite Soleil
for terror, death and violence is documented as occuring before planned demonstrations.

Although
Emmanuel "Dread" Wilme was targeted as a "gang leader," his people knew
him as a Community Leader and hero. On July 6, 2005, 440 soldiers shot
heavy guns at the fragile homes of the shantytown dwellers of Cite
Soleil for seven hours from their tanks and helicopters. A total of
22,000 rounds of ammunition were expanded to kill one man, but killed
in the cross-fire were an estimated 59 others; innocent men, women and
children. Dread Wilme died a slow and painful death from a gut
wound--he was not yet thirty when he died. His people celebrated Dread
Wilme by giving him an honorific African funeral pyre by the seaside.

HLLN: "None
of those calling DrÃ¨d Wilme "bandit" have ever shown he traveled
outside his community to attack either the foreigner who came to kill
him in his own home, nor the morally repugnant Haitian bourgeoisie who
paid assassins to destroy his community, his nation. In contrast to the
bi-centennial Coup D'etat traitors, DrÃ¨d Wilme is known to the people
in his community as a defender of the defenseless and poor. Again, we
say, as we did last April, Wilme covered himself in glory because he
added value in his own community, and if, in fact, he lives no more, he
joins the line going back to that first Neg and NegÃ¨s Ginen who can
only - depi lan Guinen - live free or die. That unborn spirit, that
Haitian soul, cannot die. It's rising."

In spite of all
the terror and deaths, United Nations Destabilization Mission in Haiti
has not been successful in stopping dissent in Haiti. When President
Aristides' Fanmi Lavalas was banned from elections last April,
the polling stations were empty due to a boycott. The same action was
due to happen this February 2010, because once again the Provisional
Electoral Council (CEP) decided to bar the country's most popular political organization
(Fanmi Lavalas). To add insult to injury the Council approved the
candidacy of Guy Phillippe's party. Guy had been one of the thugs
leading the "rebels" calling for the ousting of Aristide.
Astonishingly, Guy is supposedly the target of a DEA warrant.

MINUSTAH
must have gauged that things would be coming to a head this month with
the elections, and probably protests and boycotts. There were
propaganda posters posted warning people that if they did not come out
to vote, they could expect an increase in hunger for their country. The
earthquake has preempted all that and now the elections have been
postponed by the Haitian government.

Back to the convoy
incident, it's hard to believe that the earthquake has so effected the
aim of the "peacekeepers." Just this past November a man was shot who
was part of a group of curious Haitians who approached a UN helicopter
operating in the dead of night. Why was the UN mission that night so
important that deadly force had to be used to repel unarmed townspeople?

"Residents
of this quiet seaside town an hour west of Port-Au-Prince were awoken
at about 1 a.m. on Nov. 10 by the sound of helicopters flying low
overhead. A curious crowd amassed around the aircrafts.

One of
the helicopters had mechanical trouble and had to make an emergency
landing, said U.N. spokesperson Sophie Boutaud de la Combe. To lighten
the load on the damaged helicopter, the Chilean crew moved white boxes
of supplies into the other helicopter for several hours.
